Road Town, located on Tortola, is the capital of the British Virgin Islands.

The British Virgin Islands is situated on the horseshoe-shaped Road Harbour in the center of the island's south coast. The population was about 15,000 in 2018.

The name is derived from the nautical term "the roads", a place less sheltered than a harbor but to which ships can easily get to. A 28 hectares (69 acres) development called Wickham's Cay, consisting of two areas that were reclaimed from the sea and a marina, has enabled Road Town to emerge as a haven for yacht chartering and a center of tourism.
